Groups.drupal.org

I'd like to get some feedback about how to improve the groups submission and moderation process.

Based on some initial discussion with some of the key folks who actually moderate groups, here are the major tasks:

1. Improve the guidelines for adding groups - these are currently visible at http://groups.drupal.org/node/add/og I think they are actually quite good, aside from some small tweaks. I've started a wiki to hold the Group Submission Guidelines (please help refine them.

Hi Everyone,

Till about a week ago, i could look at the jobs page here, and there was a nice table, with location, title, Part-Time or Full-Time, telecommute or not.

Now, i am redirected to google feed reader or some such. Different depending on the machine i'm on.

Is the old page gone for good. I miss that interface. It was more useful.

thx,

Drupal is a powerful tool for building amazingly scalable websites quickly and simply. The use of multimedia in Drupal has posed challenges to many users and developers of all abilities. Drupal Multimedia addresses the main questions regarding how to implement video, image, and audio content in a way that is elegant for the developer, as well as the end user. The language of the book is straight to the point, and provides a framework to practice building an assortment of multimedia sites using a variety of modules in the context of test or example sites.

I really liked the way UI is designed here on GDO for nice subscription interface. Could you please provide the details how you achieved this? I can see the simple html markup (which is elegant) but I am sure there some jquery or javscript magic. Already looked at about page and it doesn't say. So would love to know more or learn from the script if you can please share.

On a slightly differnt note, this may be a nice alternative to many "create x, create y" links on the group details block on the right.

Hi,

This week sees the release of iteration 11.

http://drupal.markboultondesign.com/iteration11

This week we have made lots of some smaller changes throughout the whole prototype, items that were delayed from iteration 10. For this release, we've paid particular attention to several pages:

1. Marketplace

2. Download and Extend

3. Modules landing page

4. Themes landing page

5. Search_by theme

6. Home page

7. Dashboard

There has been a lot of great feedback on the iteration 10 post, thank you all for your valuable input.

After a successful fundraising effort and a lot of hard work, I'm pleased to announce that the Signup module has made some major leaps forward in the recent past:

• Supports CCK date fields for reminder emails and auto-close functionality (#86462). You can have both event and date enabled on the same site. For CCK date node types, you select which date field you want to use for signup functionality when configuring the node type.
• Ported to Drupal 6, Views2, etc. The 6.x-1.0-rc1 release candidate is now out.

There are a ton of other improvements too numerous to list here. For details, check out the 5.x-2.6 and 5.x-2.5 release notes.

Would it be possible to create a g.d.o group for group managers. It should probably be limited to managers and g.d.o admins, and it could address both management and technical issues.

I saw this article referenced in the economist. Groups.drupal.org has done wonders for the community by empowering local and working groups and giving them control over their groups. What we seem to be missing is training. Does it make sense to provide training for group organizers and event managers?

Discuss.
